hey tim,
for those of us not in the know, would you post up the specs and maybe some pics of your rig /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Sure.
My rig started life as a 1984 Chevy K10 (duh) shortbox with 117.5" wheelbase.
It has a stock 350 with a Q-jet, Edelbrock intake, melling high volume pump, Dynomax headers and duals with Flowmaster 40s.
Trans is a SM465 4 speed, recently rebuilt by Krazie87K5/Dan, with hydraulic clutch. Clutch is a Zoom diaphram 12" model.
Transfer case is a NP 205 with a 1350 on the rear output and Jesse's High Angle 1350 CV up front. I have a 1350 series rear driveshaft and front driveshaft is Jesse's 1350 CV with a 1410 joint on the front pinion.
Front axle is a Dana 60 with a lockright locker and 4.10 gears and Sky Crossover steering, I have a WTO Redneck Ram box but no ram as of now. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Front suspension is a set of Superlift 6" springs with ORD greasable bushings that are throughly broken in /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif and a set of ORD zero rates and the front axle is moved forward 1.5". I moved my shackle mounts and run 7" or so long shackles and have Ford towers and 12.5" travel Gabrial shocks.
Rear axle is a corportate 14 bolt full floater with a Detroit, 4.10s, discs, and shaved. Lift is accomplished by an Echobit shackle flip, all bushings are new, rear Gabrials are the same as the fronts in stock mounts (wish I had time to inboard them now).
There is no body lift on my rig, so total lift is right around 6". I have KMA bumpers front and rear and a Milemarker E-12000 winch up front. Tires are 38.5x16x15 TSLs on black steel 15x10 wheels.
Its definitely hammered to hell too with the entire left side trashed from a flop and dents in every panel including the hood and roof. It is a real trail truck for sure.
Best of all, it's street legal, which allows me into this competition.
As to the gag order question, I do not know. They are allowing spectators for this event so I doubt there will be a gag order. I was so exited when Jon Thompson called me that I failed to ask. I'll obviously let you guys know whatever info I can share when the competition is over.
I am definitely hoping to keep breakage to a minimum but if the shi* hits the fan I will have an entire spare D60 front axle with me along with every other spare part I can find, a generator, air compressor, welder, tools, jacks, etc.
